Obama sighting in December

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will bring his presidential campaign back to Seattle for the second Emerald City visit of the year.

The visit is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 11th, with an event at the Showbox in SoDo. Additional details will be published as they are made available by the campaign.

Obama drew big crowds to Garfield High School and Bellevue Community College when he appeared last year to boost the reelection campaign of Sen. Maria Cantwell, and packed Benaroya Hall for a book-selling appearance.

He has been to Seattle once this year for a pay-to-enter rally in SoDo, and three pricey fundraisers at the Westin.
